Patient's question:
All symptoms: For the two days before the monthly menstrual period, I cannot stand for too long. Sometimes even squatting to use the toilet feels like a bloated pain in the lower abdomen, but there is no abnormal sensation when standing.Onset time and cause: Since getting a copper IUD after giving birth, I have never had this condition before. Treatment history: I have taken Buzhong Yiqi Pills, but each time I only took two or three bottles.
Help needed: Is there a better treatment method?
Doctor's answer:
Pelvic floor muscle exercises and physical therapy: Instruct patients to perform anal sphincter contractions, also known as kegel exercises. Contract the muscles for more than 3 seconds, then relax. Repeat for 10–15 minutes each session, 2–3 times daily.Preventive use of pessary: Supports the uterus to keep it in place within the vagina without prolapse, suitable for patients who are not candidates for surgery, during pregnancy, and postpartum. Placement before surgery can aid in the healing of ulcers on the prolapsed surface.
Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment: Utilizes herbal medicine (Buchong Yiqi Decoction) and acupuncture therapy to restore pelvic floor muscle tone and alleviate local symptoms.
